This is a rare and beautiful Winchester Model 1894 Deluxe sporting rifle chambered in a 30 W.C.F. (30-30) caliber. This old gun is an antique that was manufacture of 1898 according to serialization charts. The rifle letters 100% correct with "The Cody Firearms Museum" (see letter of e-mail) and is all original. The rifle comes with 6 special order features, 1.checkered stocks and pistol grip stock 2. Shotgun butt, 3. Takedown feature, 4. Half magazine, 5. Round extra light barrel, and 6. Plain Trigger. According to "The Winchester Book" written by George Madis 1 of every 3 guns was a rifle, 1 of each 725 rifles had a non-standard magazine, 1 of each 700 rifles had a non-standard butt and 1 of each 780 rifles had checkering or carving. All of these features on an antique rifle makes this gun rare. The blueing on the receiver and 26" extra light round barrel has faded. The original walnut stocks are in good condition with one significant gouge on the left side of the right side of the butt stock. There are no significant cracks present in either stock. The checkering has been mostly worn down and has not been re-cut or freshened up in any way. The walnut in both the forearm and butt stocks show very nice figure in the grain. The wood to metal fit is still tight and proud. The action is tight and smooth, mechanically perfect. The barrel is marked "NICKEL STEEL BARREL ESPECIALLY FOR SMOKELESS POWDER" . The bore is in excellent condition with very proud rifling and little pitting, I would rate it a 8 to 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. All photos were taken outdoors to attempt to provide a accurate depiction of its condition. These photos best depicts the condition of this rifle. This old rifle is considered an antique and can be shipped directly to you. The cost of shipping and Insurance is $59.00.
